The Ghana Para Athletics Association, in partnership with the National Paralympic Committee (NPC-Ghana), has announced a nationwide talent identification program aimed at discovering and nurturing the next generation of para-athletes.
The initiative will focus on various track and field disciplines, including shot put, discus, javelin, high jump, long jump, and wheelchair racing.
It is also open to individuals with visual impairments, hand amputations, cerebral palsy, and other eligible conditions who show potential and passion for para-sports.
The program has been divided into two zones. Zone 1 will begin with a launch in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on 12th July 2025. This will be followed by Cape Coast in the Central Region on 26th July, and Takoradi in the Western Region on 2nd August.
Zone 2 kicks off in Koforidua, Eastern Region, on 16th August, before moving to Ho in the Volta Region on 30th August. The final stop will be Accra, Greater Accra Region, on 13th September 2025.
This nationwide effort represents a significant step in Ghana's para-sports development, offering opportunities to identify raw talent and provide support to athletes on their journey to international competition.
